Practice question
Question
An undersea volcano in the Hawaiian Islands chain erupts, forming a new island in the Pacific Ocean. Over the course of time, which of these would most likely be the first species to survive on the new island?
Explanation
This outcome reflects evolutionary adaptation, where selection and population dynamics shape traits. Option A captures this correctly because it explains adaptive diversity, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in ecology and evolution.
